quote:
House Republicans are accusing Democrats of hypocrisy for not returning contributions from Corzine, whose brokerage firm may have lost more than $1 billion of clients’ money through improper transactions.
Comment: That accusation from the House Republicans is nothing compared to what Barnhardt is saying. She is accusing Corzine of outright theft. I think she has a point.
This may getting muddied over so that the ordinary folk may not get it. It comes down to this: Corzine used funds from clients deposits that should not have been available to him. If it was a bank, it would be called embezzlement. Try to think of it as an analogy to this: your deposits in a bank being used for Corzines' personal use because he got into some trouble because of a bad deal. Your money is your money, not the banks'. That's what's wrong with what he did. He is a thief.
Papering it over as an "improper transaction" doesn't quite state the enormity of what he did. Republicans only want to play fair with donations- they don't seem to be very interested in protecting the financial integrity of the nation's financial system.
